Always loved bass! I started at age 13 actually playing the tuba in band/orchestra in school. It was a natural transition to the bass guitar when the British Invasion hit!

What was the first concert you ever went to?

The Beach Boys...around 1964.

What gear do you use?

My favorite bass is my Roscoe 4-string...ergonomically very comfortable. Ampeg SVT Pro tubed head and SWR Goliath 6x10 cab, but a smaller Ampeg B5R solid state head and Ashdown 4x10 cab for smaller or indoor gigs.

Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?

Paul McCartney early on.

Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?

The Moon Dogs Louisville, a classic rock and blues cover band, since 1996. We have played all over the Louisville area and at multiple venues.....regulars at Captain's Quarters. Some of the places we have played in Louisville....Gerstle's, O'Shea's Iris Pub, Irish Rover, Sieg's on the River, Dutch's, Jake & Elwood's,Tailgater's, Derby Chow Wagons, etc.

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
